Chapter 232: Robbing the Household
"Don't worry, father. Jingxian is hiding in a safe place. Even the secret guards of the royal family may not be able to find him!"
It's really funny to mention this.
Fourth Master Du was really amazing. He could even make such a boast. Before the smile on his face faded, he heard a commotion outside.
The housekeeper rushed in from outside, panting and unable to speak clearly. Then he saw several burly men with ferocious looks rushing in, grabbing Fourth Master Du's collar and dragging him out.
He looked like he didn't care about Fourth Master Du's life or death at all, and scared Mrs. Du so much that she could only cry. Second Master Du had just woken up not long ago, so his body was still weak, and his blood boiled violently when he saw this.
"You... who are you and what do you want to do?"
After he finished speaking, he coughed a few times and looked like he was about to vomit blood. The old servant beside him helped him to calm down, with worry in his eyes.
At this age, I’m afraid he won’t be able to keep going for a few more days.
Outside, Fourth Master Du was carried out and thrown into the yard like a rag. The man was none other than the young man from the Jin family who had been kicked hard by his father that day.
When he saw Fourth Master Du, he went up and kicked him out of personal vengeance. The kick made Fourth Master Du lose his soul and roll on the ground, holding his chest.
"That loser in your family caused my father to hate me. Today I am here to seek justice!"
After saying that, he spoke to those burly men.
"Go into the house and search it. Take out all their shops, land deeds, house deeds and other valuables. I want to see if the debtor can avoid paying back the money!"
After hearing this, those people rushed to each house like crazy. They came prepared and naturally would not miss any place.
Mr. Du was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak, so how could he stop others?
The house was soon turned upside down. Fourth Master Du had not made any preparations, so all his belongings were looted out at once.
Seeing everything he had accumulated over the years fall into the hands of others, he had to say a few words no matter how painful it was.
"No, you can't!"
"What do you mean you can't? My father and I have already reported it to the police. Just wait and see. It won't be long before you have to pay for your debts. Do you really think that everyone in our Shangshu Mansion is stupid? Are we going to let you play tricks on us?"
Then he kicked him hard again and said to Mr. Du Si.
"You'd better hide Du Jingxian well. If I find out where he is, I will kill him!"
His tone was so fierce, not at all like that of a young gentleman. Instead, it sounded like an executioner in a dark prison, so cruel that it was appalling.
Then he walked away, leaving a mess on the ground.
When Master Du Si saw this, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood from his chest, and then he fainted. The whole family was in chaos. At one moment they had to take care of him, and at the next they had to take care of Master Du Er who had also fainted.
On the other hand, the young man from the Jin family didn't care about anything. He took the things he had collected and went straight to the pawnshop, exchanging his life for silver.
Not more, not less, at least four hundred thousand taels.
He just smiled and gave instructions to his men.
"Call all the people who have come to see me these days. I will give them 10% more of their initial investment as compensation."
His arrogant tone is really eye-opening.
But he didn't notice the look of contempt in the pawnshop owner's eyes.
So as soon as he left, those things were delivered to the hands of the head of the Han family.
Seeing these properties that once belonged to the younger brother of the Du family being sold at such a low price, he felt extremely unworthy, and then said to his son.
"Go, find an excuse to ask your Uncle Du to come over!"
"yes!"
Not long after, Mr. Du appeared at the Han family.
Han and Du have been friends for many years and have helped each other over the years. Although they are not blood relatives, they are better than family.
So the head of the Han family took out those things without any concealment.
"Look at what your family has done to you."
These things were originally worth millions, but now they have been wasted and sold at a low price, and are now only worth four hundred thousand taels. It is really a pity for Mr. Han to see them.
But there was no emotion in Mr. Du's eyes, he just asked one question.
"When did it happen?"
"About two hours ago. The people who came were from the Jin family, not Du Si and his group."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This also means that Du Si's house was either confiscated by the Jin family, or Du Si gave it away willingly. However, based on Mr. Du's understanding of Du Si, it is most likely the former.
So thinking of this, Mr. Du sighed and said.
"Raising a relative is like raising a wolf. It's ridiculous that they haven't been fed enough for so many years."
Seeing Mr. Du's slightly disappointed expression, the head of the Han family began to comfort him.
"If you have a conscience, you will understand what you have done. If you have no conscience, it will be useless even if you give more."
"Brother Han is right. Everyone has their own destiny. This is all I can do. There is nothing else I can do."
Then he handed these things back to the head of the Han family. These things were originally bought by the Han family, so they should be included in the Han family's property.
But the head of the Han family didn't want it, and said to Mr. Du.
"If you don't want it, I'll find a chance to disperse."
"Brother Han is the boss. These things have nothing to do with my Du family anymore."
Patriarch Han nodded and understood the meaning.
So the two brothers sat and talked for a while, and then dispersed.
On the other side, Shang Ji, who also received the news, hurriedly delivered the news to Mr. Wen. It should be said or not. Sometimes, the opportunity they have been looking for for a long time always comes quietly.
Minister Jin seemed to be holding a neutral attitude, but he had actually been the Fourth Prince's man for a long time, so he had helped the Fourth Prince win over the hearts of the people in the court over the years.
Mr. Wen would not be happy if he did not take such a good opportunity to throw some dirty water on such a sinister person, and he said to the prince and Shang Ji with a sinister smile.
"Your Highness, just arrange for someone to deliver this news to the censors. Just wait and see, they will surely be able to get rid of Shangshu Jin."
The prince agreed with this very much, and Shang Ji was only responsible for delivering the message. As for other arrangements, they were always made by Mr. Wen, the "faceless military advisor".
Therefore, I didn't say much.
"Liu Lang's move was just right. It not only cut off his relationship with us, but also weakened Fourth Brother's power. I want to see how his face will be in the court tomorrow!"
